The Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival, held annually in The Pas retains the flavour and celebrations of a diverse cultural heritage of the northern pioneer. The skills and activities exemplified by the pioneers are brought to life in a week of events designed to generate sincere and genuine hospitality and friendship found throughout the north. The major events of the Trapper's Festival continue to be the World Championship Dog Race and the King, Queen and youth Trapper events. Other notable activities are the arts & crafts show, amateur talent show, children's shows, the Fur Queen Competition, senior's events, mini-festivals, parade, pancake breakfasts, tea houses, evening rendezvous and beer fest. Information and souvenirs are available daily at the Trappers' Headquarters.
